Should be about $12.00-$20.00 less
The number -4 is a whole number
Just make 1 3/4 an improper fraction and multiply by 4:
1 3/4 = 7/4
7/4 * 4 = 7
Sherman wants to spend on each pet, so we are assuming he wants to spend the same amount. He has 5 pets in all (3 cats, 2 dogs)
Divide 22 with 5
22/5 = 4.4
He can spend $4.40, or in fraction form:
4 4/10 (Mixed fraction)
hope this helps
